The Honor of a Nomination - "40 Best Genealogy Blogs"

Wow! I've just learned from a dear friend and fellow blogger, Janice Tracy, author of several blogs about Mississippi that my blog, Tennessee Memories, has been nominated for one of the 40 Best Genealogy Blogs! I'm very honored and appreciate so much my readers.

In the May 2010 issue of Family Tree Magazine, the editors will name the 40 Best Genealogy Blogs.

The genealogy community was asked to nominate the genealogy blogs they read most. Beginning on October 5, voting commenced on the nominated blogs in several categories. You can find the list of nominees and vote for your favorites at Family Tree Magazine here. (For more on nominations and voting, go here.)

I had no idea. I have been so out of things for a while with my eyesight and the work I'm doing as Historian for our "50 Year Club" in Mineral Wells - my high school alma mater - that I've not been keeping up with my blogging community like I should. I truly appreciate the nomination and am really excited about the possibility of being voted on by readers.

Hi Debbie. Thanks for writing. I know the nomination doesn't secure a selection or "win", but it's still very exciting. I want to get together with you, too, soon. Give me a little longer to get some stuff done and I'll email.Judy

Thanks for the Nomination

Welcome to Tennessee Memories

When I began to publish my blog Genealogy Traces last year I combined my husband's and my families and their ancestral lines, but I have quickly come to realize it is too much for the readers of one blog. I will continue tracing my family names Richards, Puckett, Gailey, Stone, Homsley, Cook, Brooks, Brock, Rowbury, Rogers and others on Genealogy Traces but will be using this new blog to properly showcase my husband's family.

His family is from East Tennessee and points further east. Family lines I will be researching are Shubert, Davis, Burns, Delozier, Cusick, Reese, Hitch, Conner, Cofer, Cooley, Brock, Rogers, and Graves. Listed among their places of birth are Pennsylvania, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Cardiff, Wales.

About Me

"Preserving our Past and Improving our Future" is the byline for
Mountaineer Heritage Park, an area of historical significance in the educational community of my hometown, Mineral Wells, Texas. Blogging about the members, activities, past and present, of the MWHS 50 Year Club and graduates of Mineral Wells High School is the the focus of the Mountaineer Heritage Park blog.

Everyone calls me Judy. I live in the countryside outside of the Hillsborough / Durham / Chapel Hill area of North Carolina with my husband, Bob. This year we will have been married 52 years. We both enjoy a life filled with grandchildren, genealogy, family, and friends. I enjoy blogging about genealogy, cemeteries, and my hometown, Mineral Wells, Texas. You can find me doing research, writing, or making preserves just about any time you call.
